...slanderous to state that "because of federal limitations on logging operations and poor forest-management techniques, the Government's holdings yield only a quarter as much timber per acre as private timberland" [March 28]. The Forest Service has led the way in forest management. The national forests lend the only stability that exists in the timber industry, and on the poorest sites for timber production. The private timberlands, thanks to the generous land giveaways of the 1800s, are of deep, rich soils in the lowlands, while the national forests embrace the rugged mountain ranges that have thin delicate soils...
...M.I.T., and the Episcopal Theological School must be present. The quorum-count does not include employee or alumni members, who comprise the other half of the Coop's nearly 50,000 total membership. If a quorum is present, a simple majority can elect a slate. Thus, one and one quarter per cent of the total membership can elect a board of directors, whose policy decisions will affect the entire membership. Brown has said he knows of no other corporation where such small percentage of the members can dictate to the majority. In fact, several years ago the stockholders made...
...years, girls have entered steeplechases as well as quarter-horse and harness-racing events. But big-time racing has been strictly a man's preserve. Not any more.

Sandy Schleiffers, 22, a 4-ft, 11-in., 98-lb. package of determination, learned her trade racing quarter horses at bush tracks. She wears no makeup and keeps her hair close-cropped because "I'm working in a man's world and I don't want anybody doing me favors because I'm a girl. I know I can ride as good as most...
...payments-about $45 million this year-out of current income. Partly as a result of the high payments, earnings are down. Excluding such special items as the sale of the LTV Tower in Dallas, profits in 1968 were off 18%, to $28 million; in the year's fourth quarter, they plunged 58%. In order to finance the takeover of J. & L., Ling had to negotiate short-term bank loans of $225 million; he has been meeting that obligation by selling off LTV assets, including part of its interest in Braniff Airways. Further sales of assets may be necessary...
